The period after amputation is an important phase in preparing the person for prosthesis use. As one of the early stages of amputation rehabilitation, this period is planned under the guidance of the physician and the relevant health professionals.
Points to consider in the early period
- Residual limb care: Cleanliness and monitoring of the area are important throughout the process.
- Edema management: Interventions aimed at reducing swelling are assessed.
- Joint range of motion: Exercises aimed at preserving mobility may be planned.
Preparation before the prosthesis
Shaping of the residual limb and the general condition becoming suitable are important for the measurement and fitting stages to be carried out properly. This preparation lays the groundwork for the transition to the first prosthetic fitting, and the fitting process is started in line with the specialist physician's prescription/medical report.
